Apply for PR

[deepaj27]

I am currently residing in Canada on Temporary work permit of 2 years. I entered Canada in April 2014 on employment and working in Canada past 6 months now. I had received Job offer letter from one of Canadian company and they processed my Temporary work permit with positive LMO. So I entered Canada with employment. I have overall 12 years of work experience ( 10 years in India and 2 years in US) and currently working with same employer past 6 months now after entering Canada under the same skilled category.




I need your expert advice on few of the below questions:

1. Can I go ahead now and apply for PR under "Federal Skilled program" with arranged employment ?

2. If yes, can you please share template for "Employment Letter" to file under FSP (arranged employment)?

3. What would be current processing time if applied under FSP (arranged employment) and how long does it take to receive file number?

4. Which program would be better CEC or FSP ? Should I wait and work for next 6 months and then apply under express entry - CEC or apply now under FSP (arranged employment)?

5. I have heard FSP takes very long time than CEC and it takes months to get file number wherein CEC file number comes in 3 weeks ??? not sure how far its true ...

6. I have PPC from India as well as from US which is dated October 2013. So its going to be an year for those documents, end of Oct 2014. Can I submit those PCC document (almost 11 month old) or shall I get new PCC done ??

Appreciate your advice...

Thanks,

Why not apply under both. Apply under FSW and see how it goes and if you're not satisfied with the progress when you hit 1 year of working in Canada then also apply under CEC. FSW doesn't take that long though.

Thanks for the response !

So technically can I apply for 2nd time if I don't hear from them ? or I need to cancel under FSP before applying for CEC...

No need to cancel, but eventually one will be withdrawn.
